Summary

This document provides an overview of body composition, including the different methods for assessing it. It details components of physical fitness and various techniques for measuring body composition, such as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), hydrostatic weighing, air displacement, skinfold thickness, girth measurements, and bioelectrical impedance. The document also addresses body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference.

A three-site procedure is commonly used: Women: triceps, suprailium and thigh Men: chest, abdomen and thigh I Standard Error of Estimate +/- 3.5% Considerations if of Training is necessary to perform assessment accurately I Measurements should be taken at the same time of day Win More research required to determine accuracy BS ME W 4 Girth measurements it Description dies Measures the circumference of specific body sites In Hostarm, hip andIswrist Women: upper Men: waist, wrist It Standard Error of Estimate +/- 4.0% Considerations May not be valid for athletic individuals or those who appear visually thin or β obese twins O girish Bioelectrical impedance 22,40 6541 Description g Sensors are applied to the skin and run a weak electrical current through the body to measure electrical resistance Standard Error of Estimate 5843,4 Percent body fat may be off by 10 percentage points or more Considerations a Accuracy of equations is questionable Hydration and body temperature affect results More research required to determine accuracy Body Mass Index Stop A Technique used to determine the thinness and excessive fatness that incorporates height and weight to estimate critical fat values at which the risk for disease increases BMI and mortality Waist circumference provides information about disease risk Compared to people with fat stored primarily in the thighs and hips, obese people with abdominal fat are at higher risk for many diseases Android obesity is seen in individuals who store fat in the trunk or abdominal area Gynoid obesity is seen in people who store fat primarily around the hips or thighs Waist circumference is a better predictor than BMI to determine the risk of disease Waist circumference provides information about disease risk Determining your recommended body weight (RBW) First, use your percent body fat from the previous table to determine your body composition classification Follow these four steps: 1. Determine Fat Weight (FW): FW = BW x %F 2. Determine Lean Body Mass (LBM) LBM = BW – FW 3. Select a desired body fat percentage (DFP) 4. Compute RBW: RBW = LBW / (1.0-DFP) Determining your recommended body weight (RBW) Ahmad is a 100 kg male with %fat of 40. He wants to reduce his %fat to 20%. Calculate Ahmad’s recommended body weight. FW = 100 kg x 40% = 40 kg LBM = 100 kg – 40 kg = 60 kg The desired body fat percentage is 20% RBW = 60/(1-0.2) = 75 kg w̅ Perform regular assessments of body composition While dieting, exercising or both, repeat assessments monthly Body composition changes during weight control and exercise activities
